A hundred years ago, in response to New York’s rapidly increasing density, the city instituted its 1916 zoning law whereby ‘setbacks’—minimum dimensions a tower’s mass must recede as it rises—guaranteed that sunlight and air reached pedestrians at street level. Although setbacks were driven by public health, they became an aesthetic feature of Art Deco architecture from the 1920s to the 1940s, even in cities that did not need or require them.
